Hey Everyone ,:]

It's been a rough day for US citizens, hasn't it?

For the next four years, and possibly longer, things will not be the same for queer people, women, veterans/soldiers, and people of color.

If you aren't sure of exactly what was going to happen to your rights, here is a link to an extremely helpful source. This is more focused on queer and reproductive rights, so here's another that's more focused on what's going to happen to immigrants, PoC, etc.

Here are some links/numbers if you need someone to talk to:

The Trevor Project - A website for queer people and connects them with someone to talk to, they even have a "quick exit" option (esc x3 for computer users) if you need to close the tab quickly.

988 - Basically the 911 for mental health issues (US, Canada, Hawaii only, other options below)

741741 - Similar to 988, but only text based. (US only)

116 123- UK crisis line

13 11 14 - Australia crisis line

Right now, we're answering any and all asks asap regarding comfort for the election <3

Hey all 👋

Since I have nothing better to post I thought I'd take you all through the process of what I did to make my dark chaos chao figure.

1. First I drew a thumbnail sketch to get an idea of what I wanted the pose to be.

2. Then I modelled each part using polymer clay; I kept each part seperate so that it would be easier to paint them.

This photo shows the aftermath of me baking each part and sanding down the edges as best as I could.

3. I went over each part using chalk pastel.

However, I would eventually go over each piece using acrylic paint since the chalk pastel wasn't strong enough. 

4. I then coated each part using matt spray so that the chalk pastel wouldn't rub off so easily.

5. Then, I went over each piece using acrylic paint; adding some details along the way e.g. the eyes.

6. I then glued each piece together using gorilla glue and coated each piece with satin glaze (funnily enough it gave it a shiny look even though I was going for a matt look).

7. I then modelled the stand out of polymer clay, baked it and sanded off the edges (ignore the zits).

8. And here's the final product with the stand painted and the fireball which I made out of felt and attached it to a metal wire to make it look like it was floating.

I had to delay this project at some point due to it breaking apart while I was cleaning.

I glued it back together but it left some glue residue. So I repainted some parts, which involved scraping off large globs of glue (and paint) and added another layer of glaze

And that's that.

Let me know if you have any questions about the process. 😊👩‍🎨✨

Listen, okay, I do not condone hacking into anyones devices or accounts, especially over a dumb kids movie

But can someone hack that nigga Jace Johnson to see if he's bullshitting about Sonic 3 or not

So a friend of mine and I have been brainstorming a Warriors (yes, the battle cats) × Sonic au/crossover thing recently because of course we did 💀. Anyways, here's Shadow the cat's ref sheet that I drew for Art Fight this year (I hate that Tumblr makes this look so blurry I promise it's of High Quality you just have to open it)...

"But why is his name Shadow AND he's in ShadowClan?!" "Why does he look almost exactly like he does normally?! Cats AREN'T bright red!" shhhh, there's lore...........

Would love to make ref sheets for the others but I gotta prioritize my other OCs first. Y'know, to give my fellow Art Fight-ers some variety (because as much as I love to draw cartoon animals I DO have a few humans and mecha I wanna put up at some point). I do have general designs, names, Clan assignments, and chunks of storyline already in mind (and on paper...) for this au-thingie. Some doodles too. Maybe I'll make a tumblr tag for it in case I start posting stuff for it on here more often. Maybe I'll drop a fic or two on ao3. Who knows!

“So many unanswered questions. Sonic looked further into the murky green, and made out a hedgehog who looked somewhat similar to himself.”

SUUUPER excited to show off my art for the 2024 Sonic Big Bang (@sthbigbang)!! This piece is a companion to @techtactical’s wonderful fic “A Friend Behind The Glass”, which you can read HERE!

A huge shoutout to my fellow artists @itsmyonlywish and @noxunderground who worked on this story with me! Their art is gorgeous and you should go enjoy their hard work too 💙✨

i had such a blast participating in this project, thank you to all the mods who made it possible and HAPPY BIRTHDAY SONIC!!!

"Why Would You Bother With Me?" - An Analysis of Kitsunami, 09/07/2024

tw: major discussions of abuse, the cycle of abuse, re-traumatizing situations, toxic and abusive relationships (non-romantic)

so like when I first read this panel my reaction was just to joke with Cori that this is a "get out of my school" moment (iykyk) but I've been thinking about it a lot recently because I... couldn't remember any specific beef Kit had with Tails?

Last we saw of them interacting one-on-one, Tails was talking Kit down from fighting, and Kit's beef with the squad later was more with Sonic than him. Tails didn't take down Surge in #56 or even affect the fight in any way, and Sonic was the one who told Kit that Surge was dead beforehand. At least that I could remember, so I went back to those comics. Indeed, in #56 he shows no animosity towards Tails specifically, nor when he talks to Surge in #55.

Then I went back to #54.

See, he does seem to blame Sonic entirely for the Surge death fakeout, and he thinks that Sonic is literally trying to kill her when he walks in. But he does have one (1) reaction to Tails, right at the end of the interaction.

In the previous issue, after Sonic and Tails saved his life, Kit immediately switched on his subservient personality and was desperate for any kind of validation from the hedgehog. We only see it for a few panels before he is told about Surge and sinks into a depressive state, but it's made very obvious.

And when he leaves to help?

Kit's conditioning under Starline means that he is excessively codependent on Surge– and if Surge isn't around, on anyone who is nice to him. The hypnotic repetition shown to us was "You live to support Surge. You'll do anything for her." Kit's sole purpose in life is to be a Support party member.

Kit's conditioning was to be the new Tails.

Starline wanted Surge and Kit to replace Sonic and Tails– that much was obvious from the get-go. But what was also obvious was his fundamental misunderstanding of Sonic and Tails's dynamic and how that negatively impacts Surge and Kit's relationship.

Starline completely misses the strong sibling bond that Sonic and Tails have. To him, Tails is just there to support Sonic, to provide the brains and tech that Sonic lacks, and so Kit needs to be there to support Surge in the same way. He sees it only as a business partnership, and not a mutual relationship built on trust, love, and shared experiences. Starline only saw other people as tools, so obviously he projected that onto Surge and Kit, hoping that they would immediately take up the closeness that Sonic and Tails did because, well, they served the same purpose to each other, right?

Except Surge and Kit don't have that relationship. These two children were forced into the same proximity and made to work together. They're coworkers at best, being told to act like a family.

Obviously their dynamic is super toxic, with Surge clearly holding a lot of power over Kit, but it's also clear that this isn't because Surge wants to beat on the kid. She was made to be Sonic, and so she has his arrogance (and possibly Shadow's, considering IS1 showed his image when Starline was talking about stealing abilities), but, as Boom!Sonic says, "Without any of the awesomeness to back it up." Okay, wrong, she's plenty awesome, the correct phrase is "Without the experience" and, most importantly, "without the altruism that makes Sonic Sonic." Surge wasn't programmed to like the people she saves, because that would conflict with Starline's goal to take over the world. So she's only made to be competitive and to want to best Sonic, anyone inbetween them be damned. This clashes with Kit's programming to not only be liked, but to be liked by Surge. Surge was also programmed to believe fully in herself in order to enhance the arrogant trait, and Kit was made to give her the help that she doesn't want.

To Surge, Kit represents everything holding her back. And she's not built to view him as a person, because Starline doesn't view him or her as people. Obviously this doesn't absolve her of her treatment of him, and later issues showing her getting more and more aware as she becomes more social is definitely going to impact the way she views him– or, if it doesn't make her reconsider Kit's personhood, it'll serve to make her more antagonistic for the viewer.

But the point is, Sonic trusts Tails because he knows and respects him as a person. It isn't just because Tails can help him, but because he knows Tails will. Surge, at this point in the comic, not only doesn't view Kit as a friend, she doesn't even care what he thinks or feels.

And despite the brainwashing, I don't think Kit is oblivious to this. He knows how bad their situation is, but he is so conditioned to accept it that he can't escape it whatsoever. In both fights with Tails, Tails talks him down easily because Kit doesn't want to hurt anyone. Kit only reacts violently when Surge is brought up, because he's meant to do anything she wants.

Like he said to Belle, he was made for Surge. And what he says directly after– "Sonic can use me, too." Kit doesn't even view himself as a person, only a tool– that's how far Starline's brainwashing went. It's clearly even affecting Surge, who realized in the latest issue, #72, how fast she and Kit fell into their abusive patterns again once Clutch took over– they were conditioned to be tools. Clutch claimed to want to help them, but really he was just using them for his own ends, just like Starline. So they went back to the familiar.

And speaking of familiar– pain is familiar to Kit, specifically pain in service to others. In his breakdown in #50, he says that Starline made him happy he'd been hurt. And in Imposter Syndrome #3 and #4, we see that him and Surge hate Starline and want to usurp him... but also are still trapped in the patterns he implanted in them. Surge still wants to kill Sonic and outperform everyone else. Kit still can't do anything but what she wants, to the point he becomes near catatonic when he believes she's dead.

Another pattern Kit is still trapped in is the idea that he has to be okay with his own suffering.

The only sense of home or family Surge and Kit have is in each other, but they fundamentally can't work together, at least as they are currently. Kit is expected to take Surge's anger, and Surge isn't expected to treat him like his own person.

And this, I think, is Kit's problem with Tails.

He was made to be Tails, and he knows this, but he can never have what Tails has. He can never live up to Tails and do what Tails can do, despite that being his entire life's purpose.

He doesn't hate Tails because he was programmed to– as he says to Surge, he only wants to destroy Sonic because she wants to. When he first encounters Tails, he refers to him as his target- a simple, unemotional term. He doesn't have the deep ingrained hatred for him that Surge does for Sonic.

Instead, he hates Tails because of what he sees in him. He sees Sonic and Tails interact, he sees how much Sonic trusts and relies on Tails, and he sees how he also loves and respects him. He sees how Tails has his own motivations and opinions, and he's experienced Tails's genuine compassion that was in part fostered by the hedgehog that raised him. In turn, Tails is loyal to Sonic, but not because he has to be– because he, in turn, loves Sonic and wants to be with him.

Kit only wants to be with Surge because he was forced to. Starline wanted to use Surge and Kit to stop Sonic and Eggman's cycle, but he made a whole new one instead. Kit is trapped in a cycle of pain, knows he's trapped in it, and is helpless to escape it.

Tails isn't, and Kit sees that in Tails. Subconsciously, he sees Tails and only sees how he fails to live up to his life's mission, and how he'll never have what Tails has.

After all, why would anyone bother with him? They already have Tails.

Is he a target? I like it here now.
